Breed

All chicks came from Ideal in a St. Run Bantam Assortment. All are single comb and clean legged. I have narrowed down the breeds to Modern, Old English, Japanese, Dutch, and maybe a White Leghorn. I have also eliminated a whole bunch of colors from each. Its just for fun, doesnt matter what they are. Gender doesnt matter at this point either. Beware, Ideal Hatchery has about 60 different varieties of Old English. I will only plst what we are not sure of. Ill keep adding chicks as I get the chance. 25 in all, but 1 self blue and 1 white jap wont be pictured. Theyll be mentioned though...

Chick 1
my favorite, have no clue what it is, here are some guesses
Possibilities- Buttercup Pattern, Cream Buttercup Pattern,
Breed- OEGB?




Chick 2
Posibility- Single Comb
Breed- Nankin


Chicks 3 and 4
Possibilities- Red Pyle
Breed- Hopefully modern, OEGB


Chicks 5 through 11

Chick 12
The Darkest of all of them, along with the smallest.


Chick 13
Possibilities- Buff Columbian Pattern, Golden Laced,
Breed- OEGB


Chick 14

Okay. This will be for side notes. It will be easy to keep track of. Give your guesses on the chick varieties. I will try to get those last two chick pics in soon.
Overall, we can eliminate these varieties from the breeds I have narrowed them down to.

Japanese
Cannot be- Black, Black Tailed buff, Black Tailed white, mottled, gray,

Modern
Cannot Be- Birchen, Brown Red, black, Blue, Silver Blue, Lemon Blue, Self Blue, White

Nankin-has to be Single Combed

If any of these could still be a possibility, feel free to say so. But im pretty sure im doing good in narrowing it down.

 

Anyone wanna pitch in? I can update with wing pics of any of them eventually. Probably will on monday or sunday. Or maybe ill wait two weeks.
but does anyone know what they might be?

 

Whoops.

 

Well. We would really like to know which ones are which. We plan on selling a few of the more common colors and we are going on vacation soon.
Yeah, I guess it doesnt really matter. I just wanted some quick guesses because I know a bunch of them are going to look similar when they are older. I was gonna take the pictures as they got older and make a reference book for us.
